Hatewatch briefly explores the history of racist activism of the two white supremacists arrested after the Tinley Park incident. Keep in mind that these were only the two alleged victims who were arrested, one for child-pornography charges, the other for being a violent felon in possession of a loaded handgun. Many of the other “victims” reportedly fled the scene when the police arrived.

After the white supremacist community made the mistake of trying to ‘dox’ (making someone’s personal information public) twitter accounts that had chosen to follow @tinleyPark5, some of whom were affiliated with the hacktivist collective known as Anonymous, the group decided to show them what a proper ‘dox’ looks like. Hackers claiming to be from Anonymous made private correspondences between the alleged “vicitms” of the Tinley Park incident public. Contained in the information is correspondence between Brandon Spiller, Beckie Williams, and several other alleged victims. In the released chat logs admission to falsifying police reports to exaggerate the alleged attack as well as an ongoing conspiracy to violate federal law, namely the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in their weak attempts at DDoS’ing the website antiracistaction.org . DDoS stands for distributed denial of service attack, which is an attempt to shut down a website by causing a metaphorical traffic jam at a specific website.
